Big Spoon Co. Recommends: Graphic Design Sites

Big Spoon Co. offers a full range of services– from photography, media pitching, and social media management; to website building, event planning, and managing influencer campaigns– and just about everything in between. When it comes to graphic design work, our designer, Karlyn, uses a handful of programs to create brochures, flyers, social media templates, logos, and anything else our clients need.

Here are a few of her favorite design platforms and programs…
